Rest in Peace old son - died last night aged 84 in Sydney , gone to call the big game at the St Peter's Cricket Ground with Greigy , what a legend this bloke was

Very sad news that I'm not a huge cricket fan but he was an absolute legend and the best commenter of all time.

Legend of the highest order RIP.

Some RB gold

84...A good innings as he would say.

Sad to hear the passing of a true legend.
Loved by all.
RIP Richie (Choo for Chenty Choo).
Might have to dig up those old 12th Man tapes.
Anybody got a cassette player ?
Come to think of it I don't even have a CD player anymore.

A massive loss but a life to be celebrated

Sad news.

Cricket just isn't the same without Ritchie
